Brett Butler and Cancer Treatment

He said he was told his chances of survival would only be 15 percent if the cancer returned after radiation treatments. Could it come back? “Sure, but I’m not going to sit around and wait for it to come back. If this cancer is there, this is an aggressive-type cancer.” The tumor in Butler’s tonsil tripled in size in about six weeks. The cancerous lymph node almost doubled in size in eight days, Butler said. Still, it’s possible Butler’s treatments will be delayed until June 17, not-so-coincidentally the day after the Dodgers complete a four-game series in Atlanta.

Whether or not Butler is undergoing his treatment, he plans on attending the Dodgers-Braves series. And he reiterated that he fully intends to rejoin the Dodgers in September. If he begins the treatment June 10, he could be done July 19, giving him about 10 weeks to rehabilitate. Different people react differently to radiation, informed Butler, whose voice is almost completely normal. “I can lose my saliva glands indefinitely. I’ve never seen a ballplayer who couldn’t spit.”

Butler had the remaining 18 staples used to close the incision made in his throat and shoulder removed Wednesday. He said his uvula _ the small fleshy mass in the top of the throat - is twisted off to the left but should return to normal soon. He also said he is having problems swallowing because of a sore soft palate; when he drinks water, for example, he sometimes loses some through his nose. Butler said the outside of his neck is still very sore and he cannot so much as swim yet, but he is already devising a workout schedule and doing research on different types of nutritious diets.

He knows 10 weeks might not be enough time to get back in playing shape, but he made it clear that alone won’t stop him from wearing his uniform again this season - gain weight and stay healthy as long term goals.

The best thing for me

I believe that one of the things that is very important in life is to have good health, because without the health you really have nothing to talk no matter how much money you have. When I discovered that I had a condition called Disk Dessication I was quite worried, because I have never really suffered from any kind of real illness before. Luckily the doctor told me there was therapy that I could have in order to keep the condition under control. I have the treatment immediately and I’m now feeling much better.
